Universal Data Management (UDM)
Managing corporate data is a complex task. Talk to any IT administrator and they will no doubt tell you that some of their most daunting and critical challenges on a daily basis circle around applying data protection to highly disparate environments, managing application-centric policies and managing messaging applications for various purposes, including retention of data and ensuring compliance.
BakBone’s Universal Data Management strategy revolves around a three-pronged approach for managing data within a corporate environment: Integrated Data Protection, Message Management, and Centralized Policy Management.
Benefits of UDM:
- Comprehensive Data Protection: this level of integrated data protection preserves the integrity of at-rest and in-motion data across the enterprise and adds the ability to do real-time backup for Windows applications and file servers.
- Centralized Policy Administration: centralized, data-centric policies greatly improve IT’s command-and-control. The central policy engine oversees a range of BakBone and 3rd party actions, including de-duplication, encryption, archiving and more.
- Compliant Messaging: given an increasingly strict regulatory atmosphere, ensuring messaging compliance becomes a critical form of protection for the enterprise.
Product Portfolio
BakBone's UDM framework is made up of a comprehensive set of data protection technologies, including:
Integrated Data Protection
Including availability, retention, and security of data is the foundation of BakBone’s UDM strategy. A combined suite of data protection solutions allows you to centrally protect and ensure availability of your most critical server and application data, whether it resides in physical, virtual or cloud environments.
BakBone’s data protection framework embraces a new model of availability and data retention that is flexible, cost-effective, and easy to integrate and manage using an integrated “building block” approach to help you achieve your data protection objectives, increase business value and reduce risk. This comprehensive suite of heterogeneous technologies is seamlessly managed from a centralized console.
Message Management
Most of today’s enterprise email systems and applications are based on 25-year old technology for processing and delivering. This limits performance, security, stability – which creates the potential for serious issues with company’s most important communication channel. BakBone is replacing this legacy technology with a new generation of optimized solutions for email and messaging based on ColdSpark’s SparkEngine platform, a powerful new type of enterprise email platform. This new patent-pending technology re-engineers the SMTP email routing and delivery process.
Centralized Policy Management
BakBone provides a “data-centric” approach to creating, applying and maintaining policies across the enterprise. BakBone’s Policy Management solutions allow enterprises to apply and manage their policies on data, rather than on multiple disparate applications. This unique technology allows applications to inherit and implement these global data-centric policies for services like: data de-duplication, encryption, data loss prevention, data & user protection and message archiving. The integration of BakBone’s data protection platform with the SparkEngine mail transport platform allows policies to be applied to data as it enters the network and be retained with the data throughout its lifecycle.
